Europe Has Set A Deadline For Its Fleet Of Trucks And Other Heavy Vehicles To Have Biogas As A Fuel Source

Investing in fuels that ensure lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) is essential for the decarbonization of the transport sector. There is a growing number of projects in Europe to reduce heavy fleet emissions by 90% by 2040, for example.

Biogas, an organic fuel that can reduce truck pollution by up to 36%, has attracted Brazilian attention as it can be made from waste from other industries (50% from the sugar-alcohol sector and 30% from animal protein).

Current Biogas Production in Brazil

According to the Brazilian Biogas Association (Abiogás), the country produces 400,000 m3 of biogas per day, with room for significant growth.

A biogas or biogas plant is a facility that converts organic matter into biogas, and possibly into biogas, through a process called anaerobic digestion.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

Dissatisfied with seeing people sleeping on the street, a man named Ryan Donais started building small mobile homes so that homeless people can escape the cold, each equipped with a bed, running water, electricity, and heating.

Workers were opening a modern road in Dover when they found, 6 meters below the asphalt, a 3,500-year-old boat made of stitched oak and plant fibers.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Using high-resolution satellite images, archaeologists rediscovered the Egyptian city of Imet, buried for centuries in the Nile Delta, revealing rare multi-story houses, granaries, and a sacred road linked to the cobra goddess Wadjet, from about 2,400 years ago.

Man built a 5-acre lake to raise bass, but after 1,000 days the project turned into a wildlife sanctuary with eagles, deer, ducks, owls, and live cameras that transformed the farm into a biodiversity laboratory.

Woman mistakenly receives a transfer of R$ 14,000 and spends it all — Bought a plot of land

What if a skyscraper could arrive almost ready at the site? Singapore is preparing prefabricated towers with 56 floors, 200 meters high, and complete modules to challenge traditional construction.

São Paulo hides beneath the asphalt a project worth R$ 1.1 billion with 44.6 km of underground cables, energy from Itaipu, and a silent mission: to reinforce the ABC region of São Paulo.

Brazil has 15 cities with more than 1 million inhabitants – with 42.8 million inhabitants – find out which ones they are

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

Swedes manage to create synthetic fuel with CO₂, water, and renewable energy, compatible with current engines, but face a huge problem: the energy expenditure is still double the return.
